Among the new numbers added to the cata-
log of Leo Feist, Inc., is a waltz entitled
"Goodnight." The number has already shown
indications of becoming quite popular and this
has induced the publisher to arrange a campaign
to exploit it intensively. While it is true the
Feist number, "Three o'Clock in the Morning,"
continues to receive wide recognition and popu-
larity, there seems to be no reason why another
meritorious waltz should not be programmed by
orchestras.
The sales staff of the Feist organization looks
for "Goodnight" to be very big. It makes no
claim, however, to its succeeding "Three o'Clock
in the Morning." One of the slogans adopted
in exploiting the number is "Almost as good
as 'Three o'Clock in the Morning.' "

Sissle and Blake Musical Comedy, Published by
Witmark, Repeats Chicago Success
LEO..FEIST, Inc., FEIST Bldg., New York
The musical comedy, "Elsie," which has had
a successful run in Chicago and elsewhere, has
made its appearance in Boston, where it is
again recognized as a meritorious attraction.
Much of the music for this show was furnished
by Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, who were
responsible for last season's success, "Shuffle
Along." Among the songs in "Elsie," which
Boston seems to recognize as unusual, are
"Baby Buntin'," and "Two Hearts in Tune,"
closely followed by "Sand Flowers," "With
You," and "Jazzing, Thunder, Storming Dance."
The Sissle and Blake numbers are published
by M. Witmark & Sons.
